Pure Taqueria

"If you’ve just come from walking around the square with your friends, Pure Taqueria makes a decent stop for coastal Mexican food. Inside, it’s a kaleidoscope of teal and yellow pastels with plants everywhere, which gives it a fun, beachy atmosphere. We usually order the tasty fried shrimp tacos with flour tortillas and pair with a sweet watermelon margarita, but skip the too-hard tortilla chips. Head out to the large patio when you want to people-watch." - jacinta howard

"Pure Taqueria is a Mexican restaurant in Inman Park that’s a decent stop for big groups. Inside, it’s a kaleidoscope of teal and yellow pastels, and there are plants everywhere, which gives it a beachy atmosphere that’ll make you feel like you need to brush off imaginary sand before entering. Order the tasty fried shrimp tacos with flour tortillas and pair it with a sweet watermelon margarita, but skip the too-hard tortilla chips. Sit at the bar to watch the game or head out to the large patio when you want to people-watch. photo credit: chilaquiles photo credit: Peyton Sedgwick photo credit: Peyton Sedgwick" - Jacinta Howard

"There are three things you want after a long walk or run on the BeltLine: a cold margarita, a snack, and somewhere to sit in the shade. Luckily, you can find all of those things just a block away at Pure Taqueria. Besides having a big covered patio and serving great cocktails, their menu includes everything from empanadas to ceviche to tacos served in handmade corn tortillas. Grab a drink and recharge for a bit before you head back out on the trail, or just get a second round and make an afternoon out of it instead." - Sarah Bailey
